  • real puppets

    There are some things that shouldn’t work. Today I was listening to the Radio 2 Breakfast Show when Elmo came on. For the few of you who don’t know who Elmo is, he is a small red fluffy muppet from Sesame Street who speaks in the third person.  And Elmo was on the radio. It…

  • specific searches

    I have been looking for a new member of the family. It’s nothing as noble or significant as adoption or fostering, I have been looking for another puppet. After Stew the Rabbit’s close encounter of the inky kind the deacons at the church I have just left kindly gave me a gift with instructions to…

  • severing the ties

    Earlier this week Stew the Rabbit and I took some assemblies in a local primary school. It was our last visit. Stew had decided that he wanted to perform a magic trick and had come across a trick where it looks like you have cut someone’s tie in half and then restore it. So he…

  • blessed by a bunny

    This morning I was taking two Primary School assemblies with my trusty side-kick. We were asked to talk about compassion so Stew the Rabbit (left) and I told a version of the Good Samaritan where Stew responded graciously and compassionately when he came across Bonnie the Bunny (who had bullied him by calling him names, pushing…

  • What is real?

    Stew The Rabbit and I are off to take a school assembly soon. I hope he is ready for this. I have told him what it is I want him to say and do, but he has a mind of his own and sometimes ad libs in ways I am not expecting. There have been…

  • getting in a stew about the cross (or getting cross about a stew)

    Stew the Rabbit and I are about to visit another school this morning. It will be his first visit there and I hope he is well-behaved. He is going to try a magic trick which may or may not come off… The theme will be exploring crosses. an ‘x’ can be a sign that you…

  • fishy business

    Very soon I will be leaving our house in the company of Stew the Rabbit (pictured on my home page) to take an assembly at a local Primary School. Their theme is ‘special symbols’ and with Stew I will be talking about ichthus and crosses. I have blogged before about ichthus fish symbols on cars…

  • what do I do?

    I have just come back from taking an assembly at a nearby Primary School for key Stage 1 pupils. They wanted to know what a Minister does. That seemed like a subject I could manage so I agreed. However, trying to explain some of what I do to non-church-going children in reception and years 1…

  • stuck up

    Can you spot the difference? Yes I know one is a Spitfire and one is a Hurricane. Yes, I know one is on the left and one is one the right. Yes I know the paint schemes are similar but different. The difference is that on the Hurricane (one on the right for those not…

  • Stew the Rabbit

    I have just come from telling a story to the toddlers and parents of our Bright Sparks group. I say that I told the story, actually it was a story that was told with the help of my assistant – Stew the Rabbit (see photo). He tries to be helpful (and usually fails) but is loved…
